New and itching to get started

Thanks for the add.

Been a plastic modeler for centuries.
My first paper model was probably in my early teens making airplanes out of corregated cardboard as i could not afford plastic.

Now I'm amazed at what I'm seeing produced on the Internet and want to try paper models.

Here's to paper cuts!

Hi Harry! Welcome to the forum. Thanks for joining. Before you dive in whole hog may I suggest a little reading - First Cuts - A Lounge and the Tips & Tricks subforums. Both are chock full of information to help get you on your way. It's not a requirement, after all it's a lot of reading. Just skim through the thread titles and pick the ones that interest you, there's a lot to be gleaned from even a cursory glance. We're glad you're here. Welcome aboard!

Thanks for the tip.

Yup...I think I need to read up on technique so I don't get frustrated.
Also getting up to speed on software.

Two models come to mind:
1. My 2015 Kawasaki Councours. No one makes it, so I will try my own.
2. Civil War Hunley, about 3 foot long with full interior detail. Still researching the details as they emerge.

Exciting times for modelers.
